were found to be true of Diaspora
Jewry, it would be cause for great
rejoicing. As Professor Stephen
Whitfield of Brandeis Universi-
ty summarize in AJC Monthly
last year, "No American religious
group exhibits so little religiosi-
ty; no other community of fate is
so uncomfortable with faith.
While so many of their fellow cit-
izens have been cultivating a re-
turn of the sacred, Jews have
been otherwise engaged, indif-
ferent to the majesty of their
monotheistic heritage."
Concurrently, as several ob-
servers of the U.S. Jewish scene
have remarked, the Jews of
America are simply being loved
and accepted to death. As to who
can bring them back to life, and
how, and at what cost and out of
whose pocket — the debate is just
picking up steam. Diaspora Jews,
like Henry L. Feingold, look at Is-
rael, note the steadily improving
economy, rising population and
religious vitality and ask if it is
not time for the child to begin
helping take care of the parent.
Israel, for its part, points to the
overwhelming burden of its mil-
itary expenditures and the high
cost of bringing Jewish commu-
nities in distress to Israel and ab-
sorbing them. The country, it
claims, is not yet in the position
to contribute financially to the re-
vitalization of the Diaspora pop-
ulation's Jewish sense of itself.
The recent demographic and
identity surveys, however, did not
only bring bad news. Jewish ed-
ucation (particularly day school)
and exposure to Israel, now pop-
ularly referred to as "the Israel
Experience," seem to dramati-
cally increase Jewish identity,
thus reducing the chance of in-
termarriage. But these are ex-
pensive propositions, now
affordable by only the wealthy or
the very committed, who are will-
ing to forego other luxuries.
As the import of the statistics
sinks in, Jewish organizations
are proving increasingly com-
mitted to finding ways to make
Israel Experience programs and
day-school education affordable
to all who want them. They are
also aiming to broaden the range
and appeal of the traditional day
school so as to attract students
whose parents consider such ed-
ucation too limiting or parochial.
Sadly, according to the
Jerusalem Report, that seeming-
ly ideal compromise solution of
the '50s, '60s and '70s — after-
hours Hebrew school — has re-
sulted in a Jewish population of
"low affiliation, high intermar-
riage and rampant ignorance of
Jewish law and lore."
Since a large percentage of stu-
dents will not find their way to
day schools, plans are now under
way to make supplementary Jew-
ish education more effective. The
National organizations are de-
veloping programs and staff.
